The 30's and 40's will be divorcees. Most of them will be working, so you wont have to worry about chicks looking for daddies to take care of their terrible, out-of-control latchke kids.
You see, that's the beauty of being single. You can fall in love over and over again. If youre married, you get to throw out the trash over and over again. You're lucky if she doesn't throw out your p*rn collection.
Max - yeah, I was soooo embarrassed. The girl was totally cool about it, we were kinda laughing our asses off. I tried to get her to answer the phone for me & act all Springer-style "stay away from my man!!!" b****y, but I was kinda worried the ex might decide to come by my house so we thought better of it. Drew - definitely. Come down in a couple of weekends when Hangout Boy will be here.
Don't worry about me MM. I always wrap my sausage. But if I did have a kid, I'd love him and take care of him as much as any father would. I mean, I understand the joy of having kids. But let's say you make 80k/yr. You can spend that on whatever you want. My new plasma, my new Bowflex, etc. But if I have a kid, I have to settle for a Toshiba 13in and spend all my damned money on Jr. Besides, with all the crime that happens in school these days, you'd think you're sending him to Oz rather than school.
Drew - Are you not unemployed anymore? How are you saving hundreds of thousands of dollars? RM95 - Next time you come to Houston, can you pick me up some Rudy's? Thanks.
Good point D. How long do you think a 30/40yr old woman would date someone before breaking up once she figured out he's not going to get married to her? Fun times ahead, baby.
Yeah but you have the marriage penalty. The ideal situation would be to live together yet stay single. You have economies of scale yet "feel" married without the legal obligations. If you do decide to have children and want it official, try to have the baby before year end to take advantage of the extra exemption and potential child care credit. Also, remember, if you both work and have similiar incomes and was planning a late season wedding, try to delay it until the beginning of the following year. If you get married and have a disparate income difference or one spouse will stay home, get married as soon as possible to take advantage of filing jointly.
Of course that's assuming the unlikely possibility that your wife makes more than she spends or more than you spend on her. Also, maybe MadMax can help with this, how do divorce settlements usually end? Half and half? With so many marriages ending in divorce that is something you have to take into consideration. I don't think I could get married without a prenup...unless of course... George: Hi. Susan: Hi. Hey I've been going over the list .What about The Drake? Wanna invite him? George: Yeah. Got to invite The Drake. Listen hem...there's something that's been on my mind and we haven't really talked about it..I t's kind of important to me. Susan: What is it? George: Well I I ..put a lot of thought into this and I think I would like you to sign a prenuptual agreement. Susan: A pre-nup? George: Yeah. Susan: (burst out laughing) George: What's so funny? Susan: Ha.Ha.Ha. ha...You don't have any money. I make more money than you do. ha. ha. ha. Yeah.. give me the papers I'll sign 'em.( she leaves) a pre-nup...
Being single is not that bad...what with modern technology--microwave ovens and such, porno and satelite TV--who needs women? Okay....retraction, microwave ovens aren't as soft and cutlely as your sweeheart
my son would love a new plasma....my son loves our Texans tickets...my son loves vacations...my son loves movies... granted, he wouldn't care much for the bowflex...but of course, neither would i. get the drift?
No, but I guarantee you've seen us/her there, I'm dreading the day I walk into Kay's & she's sitting at a table. That's MY bar dammit, been going there since I was 18. Beyotch better find her own place.
that's pretty much what i'm saying...yes!!! he also likes james coney island, which is a plus in my book!
I remember thinking like this when I was single. While I dont agree. I do understand. Originally posted by RIET [/i] You see, that's the beauty of being single. You can fall in love over and over again. You just have to not fall out of love when your married If youre married, you get to throw out the trash over and over again. This is a cleanliness issue....wifey does this also You're lucky if she doesn't throw out your p*rn collection. Unless she doesnt mind.......damn I love that woman
Not really. Are you saying that you can afford all of these luxuries, but it's even better because you enjoy it with your kid? If you are, what if you only make 45k/yr and can't afford all the luxuries? And you have to spend all your money on bills and Jr.? That would suck.
No, what he's saying is you get everything you want by claiming it's for the kid. The kid is a strawman.
first of all...when it's your kid, you don't mind at all. trust me. i would much rather buy something for my kid than me. but i would much rather buy something we can share/do together. yes...it's much better with my kid...that's just the plain truth. my life is thousand times richer. wish i could explain it...i can't. but it just is. going to games...passing down the astros, texans and rockets...hanging out on saturday mornings at the park before my wife wakes up...going to movies...throwing the football or baseball in the back yard...all of it. all of it is infinitely better with my son. if you have kids someday you'll understand what i mean. kids aren't as expensive as you might think, by the way. at least i've found that to be so. they get expensive as they get older...particularly from 16 on. but at age 3, his needs are really pretty simple.
